Antarctica Holidays to the Ends of the Earth

Owned by no one, visited by a few, Antarctica is the world’s coldest, windiest and wildest continent and truly the world’s ultimate travel frontier. Visiting the frozen south is by no means a usual trip, but with the right group organising the expedition, Antarctica holidays are an opportunity for eye-opening, transformative experiences that linger with every explorer who makes the trip.

Magnificent icebergs, carved from the elements into natural sculptures float serenely whilst seals bask on their icy shelves. Humpback whales with barnacled heads breach the glassy surface of the ocean and busybody penguins chatter in their thousands. Abandoned shelters of polar explorers, rusting whaling outposts and scientific research stations are the only ghosts of man’s presence, and these are few and far between.

A small selection of expedition vessels navigate the waters of Antarctica. There are subtle differences between the cruise ships and the itineraries on offer – from standard 10-day forays to more in-depth expeditions that incorporate the islands of South Georgia and the Falklands. For those who dare the Drake Crossing, there is even the opportunity to fly to bookend your Antarctica holidays with explorations of Argentina or Chile. While people might rarely step foot on the continent, there are still a plethora of experiences available, including kayaking, overnight camping on the ice and swimming in the thermal pools of Deception Island.
